Infections from Abroad: Unwanted Souvenirs
8–8:50 a.m., Skyline Ballroom, Room W375
Ever heard about “airport malaria”? Should you be worried about that “funny rash” on the Ugandan businessman? What medical advice do you give your sister who is planning a trip to Vietnam? Swaminatha Mahadevan, MD, FACEP, will identify infectious hot spots around the world and highlight must-know facts about travelers and visitors from these areas. In addition, find out what precautions travelers should consider as they plan their next great adventure abroad.

NOTE: Three presentations from ACEP14, including Monday’s session, “Inside the Hot Zone: Highly Infectious Pathogens in the ED,” by Dr. Pigott, will be captured live and presented as free courses in ACEP eCME, the College’s online and mobile education platform, to members and other EM colleagues. Each of the three courses will have a pretest, an audio and slide presentation of the lecture as it was delivered live in Chicago, and a post-test. Each of the courses also is approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit. Available Friday at www.acep.org/acep14EbolaCourses.
